Hello,
Ive got a few questions and i would really appreciate some help. Background: I have a website setup allready and have bought some other domain names that i want to redirect to this original website. Here goes,
1. How do i access the FTP on the domains i bought (to upload a HTML file to do the redirect). Im reading about a Freeola Connection - but dont understand it. Why cant i just connect using my own connection? What is the Freeola Connection? Its dial up right? How much does it cost? How do Freeola justify charging me to access my FTP (assuming this is correct)?
2. I recently bought another domain yesterday, and got a confirmation email telling me Freeola would setup the site and email me. 24 hours later ive got nothing. Is all OK or am i just being impatient?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the response. I thought as much - unfortunately. I never remeber seeing "Free unlimited webspace - but oh yeh we'll charge you to access it"... Im very disappointed by this, and 1&1 is looking more and more appealing.
Anyway, im thinking of using website freedom for a month to access these accounts. How is this done? I mean, for that month will my ISP be Freeola, or is it just a setting their side that allows me access from any ISP? Also, do you know if there is a minimum term, if it is direct debit / one off payment and if i can access all of my webspaces's using the one webspace connection?

Got a second email today (still waiting for one more) but all seems to be working now. I can see the address and everything.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
